Pagan Rosary

It is best to string your own beads.
You will need:
13 white 8mm beads for the Maiden
13 red 8mm beads for the Mother
13 black mm beads for the Crone
1 silver 10mm bead representing the Full Moon
52 silver spacer beads
(class "E" 6/0) representing the Moonlight.
Size 10 crochet yarn: white or ecru, or color of choice
You may begin & end stringing anywhere in the loop,
but the tie-off isless visible in the midst of the black beads.
The silver Moon bead is separated
from the White Maiden beads
by four (4) silver spacer beads.
Each white Maiden bead is followed by one silver spacer bead,
(but the thirteenth bead is followed by four 4spacer beads.)
Then come the red Mother beads,
each followed by one silver spacer,
but the 13th bead is followed by four (4) spacers.
Then come the black Crone beads,
each followed by one silver bead,
but the 13th is followed by four (4) spacers.
And so we are back at the silver Moonbead.
In other words, beads of the same color are
separated by one spacer.
The three sets of beads and the larger Moon bead
are separated by four spacers.
Thirteen (13) beads are used in each set to signify
the thirteen months of the lunar year.

The silver spacers represent moonlight
issuing from the Full Moon bead
throughout the life cycle of Maiden, Mother, Crone.

Prayers are said on each bead, while meditating
on the mysteries of the Triple Goddess, and the experience
of the human life cycle.

Men may wish to make a devotion
to the Horned God, and honor
the lifecycle of Youth, Father, and Sage.
